MAC Enchanted One(Alluring Aquatic Collection)

MAC has really sucked me into their cute packaging of their Alluring Aquatic collection. The lipsticks were sold out online almost immediately and the one I wanted popped back and I grabbed it.


The packaging is one of the most impressive from their recent collections in my opinion. I got the Extra Dimension Bronzer in Aphrodite's Shell (see my post). 


The lipstick packaging is equally as cute if not more. The water droplets on the lipstick are actually 3-dimensional and gives the whole lipstick an extra  texture. 


Enchanted One(Matte)

Enchanted One is a mid-tone neutral pink shade. I have never had a MAC matte lipstick before as I have always thought matte would be a bit drying on my lips. 


The swatch doesn't look too nude on my arm. It has more of a brown undertone to it. The formula glides on pretty smoothly and to my surprise, doesn't dry out my lips.


It does not look too nude on my lips to make me look washed out. It is a perfect mixture of pink and brown.

I have purchased quite a few nude lipsticks from Maybelline Buff Collection and even though they look awfully similar, they are different(or maybe I am justifying to make me feel better haha)


Here are the swatches:


Truffle Tease is the closest dupe to Enchanted One. Compared to Truffle Tease, Enchanted One has more pink in it. 

MAC has released another new collection this morning online. It is the Sharon and Kelly Osbourne Collection. I browsed through the collection and I was online right when they launched and everything was still available but I had to use every single thread of strength not to buy anything. Are you going to indulge in their newest collection?

    1. I am trying to try different lip shades. The most I have in my collection is pink/mauve shades but lately, I am more adventurous and tried brighter and nude shades and I surprised myself of how much I am enjoying them.
